A new large-scale vaccination site will open in Grande Prairie next week to be able to offer more COVID-19 vaccines locally.

On April 5, the province says a new immunization clinic will open at the Teresa Sargent Hall in the Montrose Cultural Centre.

“The city is partnering with AHS to provide the space required to aid in the logistics of this significant public health effort,” said Mayor Jackie Clayton “Although COVID-19 impacts are still being felt throughout the region, seeing the vaccine rollouts across the province and here in Grande Prairie is encouraging and provides us optimism for the future.”

Once operational, the hall at the Montrose Cultural Centre will have approximately 60 vaccination stations. Working at full capacity for eight hours, 900 people could be vaccinated by appointment each day.

The province adds that depending on vaccine availability, hours of operation could be expanded to allow up to 1,380 Albertans to be vaccinated, by appointment, each day.

Starting April 4, the vaccine will no longer be offered at the Grande Prairie Public Health Unit. Those who had previously booked appointments at the health unit will receive a SMS text notification directing them to attend the Montrose Cultural Centre site for their appointment.

Entrance to the Teresa Sargent Hall for vaccination appointments will only be from the south side of the Montrose Cultural Centre. For individuals with mobility concerns, two accessible drop-off points will be available and will be located at the north entrance of the building and the west side of the Mamawe concourse across from the RCMP station.

To book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment when eligible, use the AHS online booking tool, call 811 or contact a participating pharmacy.
